Ticks. GROSS!!

This year ticks have been awful. This is Piper she was freaking out. That little bugger was in  there good had to pull really hard to get it off.

Kiddie Gardens

Piper and I were at Lowe's with Dottie this week and Piper came across these really cute little gardens. Dottie of course bought Piper a gardening bag and a tomatoe kit for Piper and a pumpkin kit for Charleigh. And some green beans. The kids had so much fun planting them.

Silly Bands

Here is In Delaware there is a new trend Silly bands. They are these rubber bands that come in all kinds of shapes and when you where them they don't have a shape but when you take them off them they spring back into the original shape. It is so popular that even adults are wearing them. So funny. Charleigh was really excited to finally get some.

This Easter we had a scavenger hunt for the girls baskets. After the first session of Gen. Conference we went to Marty and Dottie's house to have dinner and an egg hunt. We invited one of our friends to come with.

This is the primary activity I have been working on. It turned it really well. Dennis was such a help. I couldn't have done it without him. I am so thankful for such a wonderful hubby.

It is so hard to believe that Charleigh is now 9 years old. She has grown so much in the last year. I am so very proud of her. She tries her best in school and makes good grades. She is a good big sister and loves to help take care of Piper and all the little ones. She is such a beautiful girl and I can't wait to see what years have in store for  her.This year for her birthday she wanted to do teddy bears. Dennis made the cake and her mom-mom made the dresses and bags for the teddy bears she gave as goodies. She did such a good job. Charleigh had lots of fun hanging out with her friends.

Piper is such cut up.  I told her to strike a pose and this is what I get. It is so amazing how quickly our kids develop their little personalities.  I am so thankful for my kids. I even love them when they are driving me up the wall.
